This is the D.P.A. Tro and Rothenberg podcast.

Let the wild rumpets begin.

Listen live weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on 880 ESPN in New York, the ESPN New York app, and on YouTube, by subscribing to the ESPN New York YouTube channel.

This is D.P.A. Tro and Roth Rothenberg. Hill Williams. And the Bears have taken the lead. It's almost like he didn't have legs. He's in massive trouble. He'll escape to the right. Somebody dives at his non-existent legs. And they don't tackle him again. Where's legs? All three phases, he's can't get the job done. Another tough loss.

His job is to make this team win games and be functional from 1 to 53. Not solely the

quarterback. Is that working? No. This is DiPiatoro and Rothenburg. Vanishing legs.

On ESPN, New York. It's streaming live on YouTube.

All right, away we go.

Of course, Raymond's going to take us on a tour around the league.

Locko and on yesterday.

RJ, not so verbose about his Niners yesterday.

They got taken to the woodshed by the Rams.

And how good is the Rams offense, my God?

How good is Matthew Stafford? Oh, he is awesome. By the way, though, I just saw this. What? I would give, right now, I mean, I think we all, the two we would agree on, I think. And I probably would. I mean, if he wasn't a running back, I would say that you'd probably go with the running back right now. But the reality is, you know, Sequin didn't win it last year.

So it's a quarterback.

Jonathan Taylor.

Right. Would be Matthew Stafford. But apparently the odds have now shifted to Drake May as the favorite for MVP. No, there's no way. I just saw it. I'm not saying you're wrong, but Stafford's putting up an unbelievable season. How is that possible? A ESPN bet has Drake May as the favorite to win the MVP. And who's second? I don't know. I always saw was the favorite. I didn't look it up. I just saw it. Gotcha. By the way, people are attacking you via social media about what happened with Robin. I didn't mean to be nasty with Robin, but what? I don't know what that would solve.

Well, I guess the differing opinion isn't what has people. It's just the fact that you just

screamed it. Poor innocent Robin. Well, I mean, listen, if you're calling you, I mean,

that has the potential sometimes to get a little heated. I cannot believe Rick just fired

it off on sweet Robin.

Well, Robin is sweet, but Robin, I think that Robin didn't make a great point. I understand his point, but how dare he strike that tone with her? I apologize. I did not mean to strike that tone. Yeah. She didn't deserve that. Well, I think if you pushed me to that, and then Robin kind of was just like the one that paid the price for it. Who pushed you to that?
